My comments mirror exactly what Jack Barry said in his review. I I have always loved rockabilly music, but I have found that most of the modern bands do not quite get it right. They seem to over-do it a bit, and get too wild. But this is not the case with Rockabilly Rumble CD. This is the best compilation album of modern rockabilly music that I have ever heard.

It is a sampler of the various artists on the Golly Gee and Raucous Labels. Every track is great - some are terrific. My favorite bands are the Slingshots, Spinouts, Ralph Rebel, Peter & The Wolves, Riverside Trio, Rebel Rockers, and Jive Romeros.

The liner notes identify the particular album each track was taken from. I then went back onto the Amazon website to see if my favorite items were available. I ended up placing an order today for 5 additional CDs (2 of them are by Ralph Rebel). So this can serve as a warning that this experience can get expensive. However it is well worth the price for this terrific rockabilly music. I am now looking forward to receiving the individual CDs by these great artists.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Rockin' Record - My best CD purchase of the year!, December 20, 2003

This review is from: Rockabilly Rumble (Audio CD)

I don't normally write reviews but I just picked up a copy of Rockabilly Rumble and I am wearin' it out. I didn't realize there were so many cool bands still playing rockabilly music. There is not a bad cut on this CD. I'm usually nervous about buying something that's listed as one of the most popular items in a category but I have no regrets on this one. If you like rockabilly music than this is a "must have" CD. Gotta go - I wanna get in my car and drive around some more with this CD turned up loud.

5.0 out of 5 stars Killer Rockabilly? You Better Believe It!, August 20, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Rockabilly Rumble (Audio CD)

This is the best rockabilly sampler of modern rockabilly bands that I have ever purchased! It's way cool to have both the British rockabilly and American rockabilly sounds on the same disc. I love all 24 tracks - my favorite band is Peter and The Wolves - "Rock n' Roll Boogie" is a serious bopper. Ralph Rebel's "Rebel Rouser" sounds absolutely authentic. If you dig the classic rockabilly sounds you won't regret buying this disc.
